    [industry trends of pharmaceutical Station] on the evening of June 16, the heavy notice of "Tu youyou's team will release major scientific research progress tomorrow" was spread in the industry In the morning of June 17, scientific research results were officially announced: in view of the "drug resistance" problem of artemisinin in some parts of the world in recent years, Tu youyou and his team made new research progress in "malaria resistance mechanism research", "drug resistance causes", "adjustment of treatment methods" and other aspects after years of hard work, and put forward practical treatment methods to deal with the "artemisinin resistance" problem in the near future Case However, some people said: "different people have different views on this matter Just follow the announcement Don't worry about "major breakthrough" or "progress" This is good news for the whole artemisinin industry It reveals the mechanism problems that have plagued us before in science " When it comes to artemisinin, people will immediately think of the name Tu youyou The 80 year old pharmacist devoted his whole life to artemisinin research "Artemisinin is not easy to come by, and its effect is not only anti malaria I have been working on it all my life, and I hope it can make the best use of everything," she said in an interview Since Tu youyou found artemisinin, artemisinin derivatives have been used as effective and uncomplicated malaria combination drugs In addition, artemisinin combination therapy (artemisinin combined with other antimalarial formulas) is the first-line antimalarial therapy vigorously promoted by who, and it is also an important weapon for global antimalarial In addition, the research team led by Tu youyou has made new breakthroughs in artemisinin resistance research, and also found that dihydroartemisinin has a unique effect on lupus erythematosus Based on early clinical observations, the team found that artemisinin was more than 90% effective in the treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus and more than 80% in systemic lupus erythematosus In addition to lupus erythematosus, an article published recently in the proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences also revealed new uses of artemisinin Researchers from the University of Casey reserve and other institutions found that artemisinin, a classical antimalarial drug, has the potential to treat congenital deafness caused by Usher's syndrome It can help the inner ear's sensory cells recognize an essential protein and transport it to a specialized cytoplasmic membrane through an unconventional intracellular pathway Tu youyou brought traditional Chinese medicine out of China and went to the world, but there is a lot of controversy about traditional Chinese medicine on the Internet Industry insiders believe that the source of all disputes is naturally from the perspective of modern science Traditional Chinese medicine has been inherited for thousands of years, such as excessive dependence on old theories, lack of consistency in diagnostic methods, and emphasis on individuality and no control in medical record However, it must be acknowledged that due to research methods and observation scope, it was really difficult for medical workers at that time to comprehensively and objectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a certain drug But also because of this, Tu youyou's experience is particularly valuable Pedro Alonso, who Global Malaria Project Director, said: "global malaria control is highly consistent with the theme of the action initiative proposed by the Chinese government to build a community with a shared future for mankind Up to now, there are billions of malaria cases cured by artemisinin combined therapy The research work of Tu youyou's team on malaria prevention is very important and its contribution is immeasurable " Tu youyou is based on the science of traditional Chinese medicine, so that the world can gradually understand, understand and accept traditional Chinese medicine However, in general, is there only a scientific way to study traditional Chinese medicine or a different way from science? This is a question Related to this, today's standards for traditional Chinese medicine can only be scientific or different from scientific standards? This has become a problem For these problems, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is still a long way to go.
